A little about me
I started acting as a kid in New York and went on to work in Chicago theater, including many fruitful collaborations with director David Cromer. Along the way, I built a career as a professional musician. Now I’m shifting my focus to on-camera roles, bringing my experience and positive attitude to all kinds of new work!
I strive to be of maximum service to those around me, and I care deeply about giving my scene partners and directors all that I can to lift them up and achieve their vision. I love the collaborative effort of making something great, and playing a useful part, whatever that part may be.
